Communication in Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) is based on mutual trust between the participating nodes. Due to features of open medium, dynamic changing topology, lack of centralized monitoring and management, MANETs are vulnerable to various security attacks. Hence, finding a secure and trustworthy end-to-end path in MANET is a real challenge. This project presents a solution for trustworthy path discovery in MANET comprising an effective reputation-based trust management scheme through cross-correlation of monitored traffic and a trust-based routing protocol that dynamically evaluates trustworthy paths. The cross-correlation between RREP and RREQ monitored packets with respect to a source and destination pair reveals the behavior of nodes in the MANET. Our analysis shows significant improvement in packet delivery ratio of AODV in the presence of attacks, with a marginal rise in control traffic overhead. The proposed AAODV protocol outperforms existing EAODV1 and EAODV2 approaches in terms of packet delivery ratio, end-to-end delay, routing overhead, malicious node detection, and throughput.
